National Park free days

Death Valley National Park

Death Valley National Park

The National Parks service is offering fee free weekends this summer, and two remain. Take advantage, take the kids, take your camera! The fee free weekends are July 18 and 19 and August 15 and 16.  For a complete listing of parks open for free those days, and listed by state, see: http://www.nps.gov/findapark/feefreeparksbystate.htm

Some of the beautiful National parks free those weekends and either in or close to San Diego include:

Cabrillo National Monument

Joshua Tree National Park

My favorite is Death Valley (within a day’s drive), but it’s a little better in spring and winter than the blazing heat!

Yosemite is also within a day of San Diego.

Plan ahead and take advantage of this free opportunity to view some of America’s best open spaces. While you’re there, take a few gorgeous photographs and enter them to win.
